Very long-chain fatty acids are accumulated in triacylglycerol and nonesterified forms in colorectal cancer tissues

Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cancer, and its precise diagnosis is especially important for the development of effective therapeutics. In a series of metabolome analyses, the levels of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) were shown to be elevated in CRC tissues, although the endogenous...
